JUST BEFORE DAWN
A largely undistinguished slasher that owes its minor cult following to just ONE scene
GRINDHOUSE
The film that started the retro-grindhouse movie craze, a raucous 3-hour double feature intended to replicate the grindhouse moviegoing experience of the 1970s and 80s
GONG TAU
Unabashedly over-the-top Hong Kong action-horror from Herman Yau, of EBOLA SYNDROME, so at the very least you can count on some serious gore and sleaze!
GALAXY OF TERROR
GALAXY OF TERROR isn’t the best of the many ALIEN wannabes, but it is the most outrageous—and, hence, the most fun
THE FLESH EATERS
A vintage gorefest that hasn’t dated well, but does at least contain some impressively noirish photography and lots of endearingly goofy special effects
LUTHER THE GEEK
There are some eye-catching gore effects in this nineties low budgeter, and a memorably depraved lead character
LUCKY SKY DIAMOND
The LSD of the title is entirely appropriate, this being a seriously bizarre Japanese gore fest
LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT
There exist better known films in the splatter movie pantheon, and certainly better made ones, but you’ll have a difficult time finding a meaner, nastier film
TOKYO FIST
A masterwork from one of Japan’s greatest contemporary filmmakers, Shinya Tsukamoto
TIS PITY SHE’S A WHORE
A visually fascinating but dramatically flawed Italian production from the seventies
